Yeah, it's been confirmed for a while, but there's just been no other news about it. So, like many of Ubi's other endeavors, this will likely blow fairly hard. They seem to treat the DS as merely a cash-in system. Bros. In Arms was about as close to greatness on the DS as they're likely to get.

Of course, I could be wrong about Assasin's Creed DS, and I hope I am.

Developers should stop releasing these lame minigames for handheld platforms that only serve to prop up overall sales and get people interested in the home console/PC (read: real) version(s).

It's the same with CoD4 really. The main game is probably going to be great (I'm not that interested, it seems rather multiplayer focused and I don't give a flying fuck about multiplayer), but the DS version is piece of shit as far as I can tell.

I don't know if I would like AC on PS3/360 in the first place. I loved Prince of Persia, but getting killed in one hit in AC is kinda turn down. (I think they are both developed by UBI Montreal, correct me if I'm wrong)
You can't 10:1 so yeah he's gotta fall, but they could have let some breating room. But I have no problem block & counter since Heavenly Sword so let's see.

As far as DS version's concerned, if the environment isn't interactive, 2 thumbs down, losing one of the biggest strength of the game in a port doesn't deserve to be sold. And dynamic crowd, I can let that slip since DS cartridge can hold so much.

Apparently, it IS coming out.
It's going to fail.
Definately going to fail...

Jeez talk about being pessimistic. Who knows, I remember hearing Nintendo saying they are going to increase the sizes of the carts so more data can be put in them. Meaning they could add more textures and such. It would be interesting to see, i don't think it's going to fail sale-wise, but who knows if it will be liked. Ya never know, hopefully it will be really good.
